The Karnataka state cabinet has approved a proposal for the Centre to declare six wildlife sanctuaries and areas around another sanctuary as ecologically sensitive zones.

The Karnataka state cabinet has approved a proposal to recommend to the Centre to declare six wildlife sanctuaries and areas around these as ecologically sensitive zones. The proposal regarding recommending these areas to the Centre has been taken up as per the verdict of the Supreme Court and guidelines issued by the Union Ministry of Environment and Forests on February 9, 2011. The proposal has been finalized as per the recommendation of a Cabinet sub-committee.

Mr. B. Eshwar Khandre, Forest Minister, proposed guidelines to increase the forest cover and to reduce man-animal conflict by making way for the smooth movement of wild animals. These guidelines prescribe different prices for the lands being given by people depending upon whether they are being provided by the forest dwellers located in the middle/border area of the forest or the wildlife corridor or holders of patta lands or farmers.

Citing the comprehensive guidelines issued by the National Tiger Conservation Authority in 2012, it has been proposed to provide a compensation of ₹15 lakh to each family that is presently residing in Tiger reserves but wants to rehabilitate outside.

The six sanctuaries that have been proposed include: – Bukkapattana Chinkara Wildlife Sanctuary, Kamasandra Wildlife Sanctuary, Nagarahole and Kali Tiger Reserves, Kappatagudda, Anashi National Park and areas around Cauvery Extended Wildlife Sanctuary.
